Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with their reaction to Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein telling the New York Times, "Not to put everything on David Ross, but I think he is uniquely positioned to reach these guys." Does that comment "put everything" on the team's new manager? Can Ross have the kind of impact that former manager Joe Maddon had when he took over the team in 2015? The guys then discussed White Sox left fielder Eloy Jimenez doubling down on his comment that rookie center fielder Luis Robert is going to be the next Mike Trout. Does the comparison to the Angels star put too big of expectations on Robert? Will anything less than a Rookie of the Year performance be disappointing? The morning crew also reacted to Bears coach Matt Nagy telling the Tribune that the 2019 season "got away from me." Is that acceptable? How should fans react to Nagy calling himself "rejuvenated" after a disappointing 8-8 season? The guys also shared their thoughts on the Bears and Bengals discussing a trade involving quarterback Andy Dalton, according to the Athletic. The trade would involve a mid-round draft pick going from Chicago to Cincinnati, according to ESPN. Would that deal be fair and is it worth the Bears inheriting Dalton's $17 million salary-cap hit? Finally, the guys reacted to Bulls big man Wendell Carter Jr. talking about a position change. Would he be healthier if he was playing power forward? (3/2/20)
